Now we have a bit more insight into how ABC will cross-promote with the new syndicated talk show featuring Katie Couric, distributed by ABC. “Katie” will be the starting point for a Chris Cuomo scoop across ABC News platforms: an interview with the young man at the center of the Penn State sexual abuse scandal.

ABC News chief legal correspondent and “20/20” anchor Cuomo has an exclusive interview with “victim #1,” who breaks his silence Oct. 23 when Cuomo appears on “Katie” with portions of the interview.

The interview is timed to coincide with the launch of a book by the young man, now 18, reportedly co-written by his mother and psychologist. ABC promises “new details about how Jerry Sandusky got away with the abuse for so many years.”

Joanne Ostrow has been watching TV since before "reality" required quotation marks. "Hill Street Blues" was life-changing. If Dickens, Twain or Agatha Christie were alive today, they'd be writing for television. And proud of it.
